Indra

All meows are assumed to be roars before lion arrives.

It's at times over the top masala film directed and shot in old style. But you buy ticket to this genre fims for the very same reason...over the top action/ dialogues/ heroism/ set up. If you are looking for a pasta, stop even reading this review. It's not your cup of tea. This is a double masala Hyderabadi dum biryani.

Apart from meeting all the requirements, it also has a grand premise for this action film narrated in old school native style.

Now add to this, an all round male lead performer, two beautiful female leads, terrific songs coupled with extraordinary dances, great comedy, a social cause, knock down country style action, clap worthy dialogues, demi god like heroism....you name it, you have it. It's a feast when you know what to expect.

The choreography and songs make the film, the story is OK, and the comedy sequences have a high cringe factor since they are so bad and bring the film to a screeching halt. Had it not been for the "comedy" sequences, I would have probably given the film a 7 or 8 instead of a 6. Indra also did not have the look and feel of a film that was made in 2002 since the color and film quality did not have the crispness and vibrance that has been so characteristic of so many quality Indian films within the last four to five years. Chiranjeevi is great in this film, has terrific range, and his performance alone, besides the choreography and songs, is reason to watch this movie. If you fast forward some of the comedy sequences, you will not have missed anything since they add nothing to the rest of the story.

Well, this movie is all about "Indrasena Reddy" who sacrifices everything for the public in Rayalaseema. Chiru does a one man show with his performance and dances. There are other notable performances but chiru's action and dances do the magic. There are a couple of scenes which cause to blood to boil, such great was the directors taking of them.

People avoid this film. Its a d grade film. Its an insult to mature audience.

I always liked Chiru and his films from the days of Pasivadi Pranam. I am from Rayalaseema and this film portrays Rayalaseema in such a bad light, gosh, one hour into the film I got headache and nausea. The film is full of ego and pompous from beginning scene to the end one. Except the comedy track from Brahmanandam, this film lacks humility.

Chiru has such a huge fan base and what sort of ethics and morality is he imbibing from this film. Being self-righteous and killing people that is his character in this film. There is this scene at the end of the film where he kills people then lectures the futility of violence and bloodshed. I can go on and on but the main point I want to highlight is: "audience avoid this film".
